Paul Gascoigne proved he still has the knack of making people laugh when he bumped into Deontay Wilder - and gave the heavyweight champion a couple of digs.
The England football legend was spotted chatting to American Wilder ringside before Tyson Fury's fight against Francesco Pianeta on Saturday night.
He spent a few moments talking to the 6ft 7ins fighter at Belfast's Windsor Park before catching him off-guard with a sweet left jab on the side of his face.
Gazza, sporting bleached blond hair, then followed it up with a right-hand punch.
BT Sport shared the exchange on Twitter .
It was all in good humour, though, as Gazza gave the WBC title holder - who was all-smiles throughout - a kiss on the cheek before taking his seat.
And it's fair to say that fans enjoyed the bizarre exchange, too.
Wilder, the Bronze Bomber, is in Belfast to watch Fury, his opponent in waiting.
Providing Fury beats German Pianeta he could fight Wilder in November or December in Las Vegas.
Speaking ringside, Wilder said: "I am trying to get a fight set with Tyson Fury.
"Ever since I came here the people of Belfast have shown me nothing but love.
"They are some of the best fans in the world.
"They were waiting hours for me at my hotel. That made me feel great."
